  • Publication number: 20260116469
    Abstract: An after-market subframe bushing support assembly that includes a RS back top bushing member formed as a disc shape with a RS back top bushing member outer diameter and a RS back top bushing member first height, and the RS back top bushing member having a center opening defined by a pair of RS back top bushing member long sides and a pair of RS back top bushing member short sides, and a RS back top bushing member second height between areas above and below the center opening and the RS back top bushing member outer diameter. The subframe bushing support assembly reduces noise-vibration-harness compared with other solutions and can easily be installed by car enthusiasts.

  • Patent number: 7742071
    Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus and methods that reliably detect defects on centerplane connectors. The apparatus and methods include a visual inspection system. The visual inspection system includes a control box, an inspection cart, a camera jig, and a vision system. The vision system has a light emitting diode (LED) lighting system that provides the necessary lighting for the camera on the vision system. The vision system is mounted to the camera jig via a spring-loaded mechanism. The camera jig has dimensions similar to a daughter card that is used with the centerplane connectors. The camera jig also includes a motor and worm gear assembly that raise and/or lower the camera's view of the centerplane connectors. The control box is mounted to the inspection cart so that an operator can use it to control the up/down movements of the vision system. A timer/relay may be build into the control box to allow controlled/fixed movements of the vision system.
